What We Do

Our OpenSlate platform was built to connect
brand advertising with the best and most relevant
content on YouTube. By focusing on characteristics that define high quality -
engagement, consistency, influence and momentum - we offer advertisers a unique and
important set of decisioning tools.

Our quantitative approach to measuring and scoring the value of content
for advertisers is used by many of the world's largest agencies, trading desks
and ad
networks. We offer products and services that let brand advertisers go deep into
buying
against content on the YouTube platform.

In 2012, Outrigger launched
OpenSlate
as the definitive source of quality in native digital video. In June of 2014, Outrigger
launched Vnetic, our programmatic for video product. Our clients use Vnetic to
leverage the maximum reach of YouTube's audience in the most appropriate possible environment

Our team is comprised of smart technologists, math guys, and business folk with
a profound
attraction to the present and future of how video content is consumed and
monetized.
We're backed by equally smart investors like the good people at Spring Mountain
Capital
and StarVest.
